About the Series

The Divide is an American legal drama that aired on the Women's Entertainment network (WEtv) from July 16 to August 27, 2014. Co-created by Tony Goldwyn and Richard LaGravenese, the series was initially developed for AMC, but it was ultimately moved to one of its lesser known sister networks, where it wasn’t able to attract a large audience. Despite high praise from critics, WEtv canceled The Divide after only one season.

The Divide begins with the execution of Jared Bankowski (Chris Bauer), who- along with his supposed accomplice, Terry Kucik (Joe Anderson)- was wrongly convicted of murdering an affluent black family 11 years earlier. After physical evidence exonerates Bankowski posthumously, and it quickly becomes clear that a wealthy and powerful man, Stanley Zale (Kenneth Welsh), pulled the strings to have said evidence buried, dark secrets spanning multiple generations are revealed, and a devastating chain of events is set in motion.

The series’ tagline is that “Everyone is guilty of something,” in reference to the duality of its characters, each of whom (with few exceptions) has lived some kind of lie for years- perhaps for reasons that seemed inconsequential, even just at the time. The story-line is centered primarily around Christine Rosa (Marin Ireland), a legal student and case worker for the "Innocence Initiative" (modeled after the real-world advocacy group: The Innocence Project), and Adam Page (Damon Gupton), the District Attorney who originally prosecuted the case. As they- for adversarial reasons at first- try to uncover the truth behind the wrongful convictions of Jared Bankowski and Terry Kucik, they also struggle to come to terms with the fact that justice can never truly be served without revealing the shameful mistakes of their past.
